True. The one argument against it is the unlikely case where someone runs a manual update that pulls in a new auto-update, and then we lose debugging info that tells us the machine hasn't take an auto-update in, say, 5 days. As I said, extremely unlikely. So I'm fine with making it unconditional, unless someone convinces me not to.
